We turned this short into a TV show! Watch SCAVENGERS REIGN streaming right now on MAX, or on Netflix starting May 31st!
-
I LOVE that they did all this just to return home for a moment. In the series, there's a much greater sense of danger and scavenging for survival, but the "plot twist" in this original animation, that they're going through all of this incredible effort just for a tiny reprieve of mental health, is really special.
-
The little seed creature going through all that work, and then Ursula just pinging the bean unceremoniously into a bucket is absolute peak comedy.
-
the fact that this is getting a full show is unbelievably awesome.i can't wait to see it
-
Coming here after finishing Scavengers Reign, and I need to say: Congratulations on the incredible work, It was probably the best show i've watched in years, I hope we get a sequel! (Really curious about that last scene)
-
This makes you wonder how many times they did this and how much trial and error they went through to complete this complex process.
-
It’s so incredibly rare to see an animated project that defies all expectations. Especially when the project is as unique and alien as the world it exists in. Congratulations to all the people involved on landing a series, can’t wait to see more!
-
What an absolute gem. Great work to everyone involved.
-
Revisiting after the S1 finale. Really nice to see how some elements from the short made their way into the show here and there.
-
Having begun watching Scavenger's Reign now that it's on Netflix, it's incredible to come back to this and see proto-Sam and proto-Ursula again.
-
Glad they toned down in the main show just how elaborate interacting with the ecosystem can be, as putting together this many bizzare steps in that Rube Goldberg machine way starts to stretch credulity! Still, fascinating to see the prototype for what turned out to be a truly amazing and special first season!
-
I saw this ages ago when I was still in college, just got done watching the series and I'm AMAZED! The animation, the story, the environment design, the diverse ecosystems, they're all so gorgeous and captivating. I love how none of the alien lifeforms are given any weird names, it helps them feel so much more unknown and bizarre. You should be very proud of your work, it really is something stellar and inspiring!!
-
So this is where it began..they even used some of the original frames and backgrounds in the series, straight out of this short. It's a visual treat, it's a masterpiece to experience such artistic marvel coming to it's fulfilment ❤❤
-
Because, even after all of that, it's enough to just get a taste of the humanity and lives they left. Just a moment's sensation. That's it? Is it worth it? It's all you've got. This spoke so very deeply to me, it's one of my most favorite stories and bits of artwork and the human imagination and condition. I return to it when I feel lost, it helps me remember the worth of the world. Thank you so very much for having the brains and imaginations that created this.
-
I remember watching this when I was younger. When the trailer of scavenger reign came out, I immediately recognized it was from this short . Great work! I really hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
-
who would have thought a decade later, this would become the best cartoon of 2023!
-
Dude this is so dope! I watched this when it aired on Adult Swim and I'm eagerly awaiting the series!!! Keep up the good work.
-
The attention to detail on some of the movements was a joy to experience. The animation and storyboard team did outstanding work here.
-
i cannot say enough how lightning-in-a-bottle this show is. EVERYONE WATCH FOR SEASON TWO!!
-
Surprised as hell to find out this got a show, just found it on 'flix. Had no clue HBO picked it up last year; they clearly didn't advertise. 3 eps in & I love it; fingers crossed for a 2nd chance at another season
